Potatoes Beyond French Fries

It’s a sure bet most folks love potatoes, primarily French fries. Yet potatoes have so much more potential. Whether roasted, grated, sliced, diced, steamed, fried, mashed or smashed, potatoes make a delicious, versatile, filling and satisfying addition to breakfast, lunch or dinner. They are inexpensive and there are several varieties to choose from. Remember, when serving potatoes, the starchy varieties create full and fluffy dishes, such as whipped or mashed potatoes, or twice-baked potatoes. The less starchy varieties hold their shape well, lending themselves to stews, soups and salads. Here a general guide:

Pair potatoes with fresh or dried herbs such as oregano, thyme, rosemary, savory, parsley and chives. Enjoy this recipe of Herbed New Potatoes.

Potato salad is not just for summer picnics. Enjoy warm potato salad made with freshly steamed potato chunks, salad veggies such as carrots, spinach, and celery, and a favorite salad dressing such as buttermilk-ranch or vinaigrette. Check out or fabulous, tasty potato salads here.

The photo with the shredded clumps of potato with stuff on top; the middle picture- which recipe is that? Neither the potato pancake or latke recipe have a photo on the recipe page, so I'm tempted to believe that the picture in question is neither one!
